can these generator support 3 Air conditioning, one Refrigerator, ark and 14 lights (lamps). and low long can it support the 16 litres of diesel?

it might if it would actually start for you and run. Mine has been sitting in the field now for months after getting totally fed up with it.to answer your question about generator capacity in general, you need to simply add up the power usage labels on your equipment, and then compare it to the rated output of the generator. No one can answer your question above because there are many sizes of AC's, fridges, lights, etc. Only you can answer that question

It will run on 4.3 US gallon of diesel for 6-8 hours depending on load, continuous output is 5700W. To calculate how much air conditioners are using one needs to add wattage of those, same with refrigerator and lights. The average air conditioner of 6000 btu could use 1600 Watts but other model can require 2000 Watts or even more. I do not think so much load can be run on this generator, unless all units connected are highest efficiency and all lights are LED based.

No, this unit is way too small for that.This unit is for simple power needs, coffee maker, run a small fridge, a fan etc.I have used this to run a simple fridge, fan and coffee maker. .during a 2 day power short.It can handle all of this with no problem. The bad side, it will drink the gas.

It runs my Whynter 14,000 BTU Dual Hose Portable Air Conditioner with no problems at all. Even the power spike that occur when you first turn it on is handled gracefully. Comparing BTUs to wattage used is a bit "apples to oranges", but I've used this generator to power the air conditioner AND a 1200 watt microwave oven at the same time, so I'm pretty sure you'll be fine. It WILL rev the engine up to compensate. That's normal. But it's still really quiet compared to other generators.

I power up my 30 ft camper with it. We run the furnace,the refrigerator, the lights and two tv's all at the same time. We even use the microwave with everything else running. It will draw down at that time but still keeps running. We love this generator so much that we are getting another one so we can run the a/c

Hi, this is a 1500 watt generator. You need to look at the wattage of your refrigerator and make sure. I think most refrigerators run at about 700 watts but not. If that is true then this generator would work fine. But you need to make sure. There is a plate inside or outside your refrigerator that will tell you the wattage that it uses.

It all depends on the total wattage of the fridge and lights you are trying to operate at one time. Mine can handle a small freezer and a couple lights.

I would believe it would. We run all those with no problem. The coffee maker and hair dryer or toaster zap the power. Anything that creates heat can not be run with these items all running at the same time. We have been real happy with this generator. It's quiet and very reliable. We dry camp and live in our trailer most of the year and we can count on it to deliver.

not all at once, pleae remember this is a standy by generator that WILL NOT run the whole house all at once. if you wish to run everything all at once, you need to get a generator output amps the same size as your house main.

You certainly can! Just make sure your generator has an adequate wattage output to supply your electrical demand. And most importantly, make sure you hire a licensed electrician.

I'm not sure about household components, I would think 2-3. I use mine to run tools for construction. You need to look at watts the generator puts out vs. amps of products you want to run. Search for a chart to see on that. I would go larger than smaller if looking to run a house. I would think a 5000 watt or larger to run refrigerator & AC

The size of the generator is not figured on the square feet of the structure, but rather on the amperage load of the equipment at the structure. ie... heat pump, ref., freezer, ceiling fans,....ect. If you have more questions my husband can answer them for you. Also our house is over 3200 square feet. It will run ours.

Look at how much wattage each appliance takes (should be printed on a plate in amps or watts. watts is amps times volts) If it falls within the max. Watage the generator can handle you should be fine. keep in mind that modern fridge and freezer compressors can only handle a 5% voltage diferance, that is why I'm looking for a device to smooth out the surge and ebb of this generator. Not sure if this generator is within that tolerance.

It may do that but it's not a very powerful generator so it will likely run at more than 50%. I was running the refrigerator, the heater (gas), and a few lights and it was good for about 8 hours. On lights only, it would have probably done 10 hours.

A small heater could use from 1300 to 1600 watts, a refrigerator, you would have to look up wattage for the brand you have. if I were buying l go for the 5600 watt generator the rv inverter generator runs quite and weigh is less than 90 lbs

Allen. Yes it will.This switch will handle up to 5000. Even though your generator says 5500 that's peak power and that peak power only lasts a few seconds. Example; Refrigerator runs at 800 watts, but when it starts up it uses 1000 watts for a few seconds and then cycles back down to 800.. I would have no issues using that switch for your generator.Hope this helps.

There should be no issue handling this a/c unit. Please remember that the 14KW Generac has a 60AMP total output rating so using 40AMP for your a/c is going to leave you not much room for things like refrigerators and sump pumps. If you are thinking about using this unit with a/c my recommendation is to go with the 20KW which would give you 90AMP of total output. Any further questions please feel free to contact me at 800.654.7440 ext 109. Thanks

It can handle a decent amount. To be exact you would have to multiply the Amps and volts of each appliance to get the wattage it requires with use. For the appliances you stated my guess would be that it'd be fine.
